This month, Stephen Metcalf, Meghan O'Rourke, and Katie Roiphe discuss Joseph O'Neill's Netherland, which New York Times reviewer Dwight Garner described as "the wittiest, angriest, most exacting and most desolate work of fiction we've yet had about life in New York and London after the World Trade Center fell." The discussion lasts around 45 minutes.

If you'd like to get an early start on the next book-club selection, we've chosen Evelyn Waugh's classic novel of friendship and family Brideshead Revisited. We'll post that discussion in August.
